Don’t look away. Watch Hanan’s speech from today on CSPAN. She is the wife of Jamal Khashoggi and deserves to be heard.

why does anything an anonymous account say matter about US politics? Can’t verify you live in the country or have ever voted.

You are not a spokesperson for any group.

There is no "we." There is you designating yourself as an authority--which is what is really going on in this post.

You are not an authority. You are not special.

Yep underneath this is a desperate attempt to claim they’re better.

And underneath that is just fear and anxiety. No different from MAGA.

Just boring Americans demanding to see the manager after expending zero effort.

Ten years of this and people have learned nothing because the dopamine hits are more valuable than anything else, including whatever cause they claim to champion.

People who consider “Democrats” an external thing they take no responsibility for yet complain about incessantly should be treated briefly with contempt and promptly ignored.

Until they figure out the difference between THEY and WE you can identify this as mediocre ego stroking and move on.

The folks playing with the word fascist like a toy do not understand it’s fundamentally a bad thing to have acting heads of federal agencies long term. It’s clear they care more about aesthetics than the actual functioning of the government.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

I'm thinking of all the nasty stuff in Chomsky's record.

Denying the Cambodian genocide. Supporting Milosevic. Denying the Bosnian genocide. Undermining anti-Communist dissidents in Western academia. Cheering the death of Venezuelan democracy. Spreading Russian propaganda.

This is long overdue.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
